Right when the engine is cold it seems to run fine, but when it warms up to about 90+ degrees, things go wrong.
It revs really slow, and sort of 'spits'
And if im going at say 30mph in any gear, and put my foot flat to the floor on the accelerator, it sort of jerks, like it doesnt want to go?
Its a 1996 1.4 Corsa Sport, i think its the X14XE but im not positive on that.
Please help.
Cheers,
Andy x x

I'm not mechanic, but what I've read on here, it could be the Idle Control Valve or something similar - if it runs fine when cold, I doubt it's spark plugs or anything like that.

get a garage to do the diagnostics, they will say whats wrong, replace the part yourself, job done.

Well my mates a mechanic and has all the equiptment, just dont like bugging him all the time cause i know how busy he is.
It happened like this about a month ago, and EML came on, and found out one of the injector cylinders or something wernt plugged in, so it was running on 3 cylinders.
But this time its loads worse, but the EML hasnt come on at all?
Might nip out at dinner time tomorow from work and take it to a garage.
Sam, where is Pepper Motors by the way?
